Always wondered why women were so eager to join the nasty, awful corporate world anyway. It really is that awful for the most part.
I work in an industry that was formerly the province of men, but is now dominated by women in most areas except for IT and sales.
The discrimination against men - especially older men - is palpable, but rarely spoken about.
Promotions are routinely given to (younger, minority) women, while men are passed over regardless of ability or performance.
The culture is toxic, especially in customer-facing roles, where a large percentage of workers (including women) are on anti-depressants or anti-anxiety drugs, owing to constant oversight, endless performance metrics, and draconian "policies" about everything imaginable.
I'm glad I am retiring soon, because I have had more than enough of it.
